Lady Gaga Talks 'Harlequin Live' With Variety

After last week's in-theater premiere of "Harlequin Live: One Night Only" at Los Angeles' Grammy Museum, Lady Gaga is releasing the special performance special this Christmas Eve.
Ahead of its release, she sat down with Variety's Chris Willman to talk about the new film, which she calls "a Christmas present."
"I'm feeling like: Why not?" Gaga told Willman, regarding the release date of the special filmed last September. "We have this thing that's sop special to us, so we're just really happy to share it with the fans. It's kind of a rebellious project. And, by Harlequin standards, Christmas is the perfect time to release something rebellious."
Gaga revealed she meant to only perform three songs as a "celebration after the premiere of 'Joker,'" but she and her fiancé, Michael Polansky, decided to do the whole album just a few days before. She tapped Marcell Rév, the director of photography for the "Disease" music video to help with production design:
"And once everything came together with the production design, it really came together because of the album art that we shot in Las Vegas while we were there finishing the record, where it was all shot in this dingy apartment. And when I met the guys that I made the record with, some of them 20 years ago, I was living in a dingy apartment on the Lower East Side. That's where I had all my crazy ideas about anything. So that's how the emotional and raw quality of how we made it made its way into this performance," she said.

She continued to give props to Michael. She said she loves "that he has this closeness with me where he sees my artistry and my musicianship in its infancy, in its raw form."
Despite the mere few-day window between the decision to perform "Harlequin" in full and the taping date, Gaga said she never felt unprepared or unrehearsed. "The point of the whole thing was to capture it in its rawness with all of the fabric of emotional jazz music. So, no, we didn't prepare that much. But in a way, I had been preparing for this for years."
She discussed "Happy Mistake," one of two original songs on the project. She said the song was inspired by a time in her life when "it felt like being happy would be an accident, it felt so impossible." She continued, saying the gift for herself in doing the performance made her "so happy."
Aside from "Harlequin Live," Gaga also discussed the album's nomination for Best Traditional Pop Album, her first time being nominated for the award on her own. Previously, she won the award twice with Tony Bennett, for both "Cheek to Cheek" and "Love for Sale": "I'm not in the category alone, I don't feel, because I guess I'll always feel like Tony is with me in the category," she said.
Variety confirmed that Bennett does have a small cameo in "Harlequin Live," in a way. During her performance of "Smile," a black-and-white TV plays a repairing loop of Bennett, who loved the original version of the song by Charlie Chaplin. Gaga said it wasn't meant to be a memorial, but a moment to bring "a little bit of the real world, with a little bit of a wink" to the performance.
Plus, after first confirming to Zane Lowe her work on new music in various hotel rooms across the world, Gaga further detailed the process. She and Michael set up a piano and a mic in every room, and whenever it feels like a good time to make music, "we just do it." "I take care of myself as much as I can on the road, and I'm finding that that's leading to a lot of songwriting, which is the best," she said.
"Harlequin Live: One Night Only" premieres on Lady Gaga's YouTube channel at 4 p.m. PST on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025. Read the entire interview with Variety here.

Lady Gaga Guests on Zane Lowe's Apple Music Radio Show

Lady Gaga has had a monumental 2025, and she's showing no sign of slowing down. Today, Dec. 18, 2025, she appeared on Zane Lowe's Apple Music radio show to round out the year.
It is Gaga's second time chatting with Lowe this year, the first being back in March during the "MAYHEM" release week. She denied rumors about a new tour, but she teased the possibility of new music in the new year.
Watch the interview here, and read some of the highlights below:
On the MAYHEM Ball:
While she denied rumors about continuing the MAYHEM Ball past April 2026, Gaga said she's had the most amazing time reconnecting with fans every night of the tour.
She noted that while it's a choreographed show, there's "a ton of room" for her to tell the story differently every night.
On the possibility of new music:
Gaga confirmed she was in the studio this week and has "been making a lot of music." "It's kind of the best making music when you get to see your fans every night, because you're energetically just right where you need to be," she said.
When asked about releasing new music next year, Gaga said, "It really depends on how I keep going with writing, but it's not out of the question."
The Weeknd came up after he posted a no-context image of Gaga earlier this week, sparking collaboration rumors. Gaga did not confirm or deny the rumors and said, "I love Abel! That's all I can say."
On the reception to "MAYHEM":
Gaga noted how cool it is to see "MAYHEM" connect with audiences. She said that while some of her records have resonated with her fanbase and others have resonated more with the general public, it's a "special feeling" to make a record that connects with both at the same time.
On the Grammy Awards:
With next year's 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Gaga nabbed the most nominations at one ceremony in her career, for both "MAYHEM" and "Harlequin." She said she feels grateful for all the different genres and "pockets" of music she gets to play in because it's like "jumping into different galaxies, and you can really get lost somewhere else completely."
On artificial intelligence in music:
When Lowe mentioned his dislike for the increasing development of artificial intelligence in pop music, Gaga echoed his sentiment: "Being a human being I don't think is going to go out of style anytime soon. I certainly hope it's not. That's at the core of, I think, the way we understand each other, the way we communicate."

Lady Gaga Does "My Life in 10 Songs" Challenge For Rolling Stone

Lady Gaga shared some of the most influential songs that have soundtracked her life in Rolling Stone's new series "My Life in 10 Songs". Watch the video and read about her choices below.
1. Bruce Springsteen – "Thunder Road"
"Springsteen has influenced me my whole career. My album 'Born This Way' was heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen. Bruce had a very particular grit and soulfulness, and when I was making 'Born This Way' I thought a lot about how to incorporate who I really am into my music, even more than I did during 'The Fame'. 'The Fame' was an album that was more about my dream for myself; 'Born This Way' was more of an album that was looking back on a particular time in my life. I think I fell in love with New York all over again through Bruce's music because of the proximity to New Jersey and that whole area. […] I remember feeling like I was learning about my dad through the song because my dad is from New Jersey, and Bruce is from Jersey."
2. Beck – "Nicotine & Gravy"
"For me, 'Nicotine & Gravy' really spoke to who I was as a 19 year-old living on the Lower East Side and kind of getting my kicks with the locals. I looked back on it, going like, 'Oh [Beck] changed'. I would say the way it affected my life the most is that watching Beck change made me feel like I wanted to change."
3. Carl Bean – "I Was Born This Way"
"I was so inspired by that song. I heard and I was like, 'I wonder if there's a way to flip this into a modern pop record'. […] It's so meaningful to me too because the entire energy around 'Born This Way', my song, entirely depended on that song. The genesis of it gave way to something that I think for me is the most important record of my whole career, not just for me artistically but for what it means. And every night that I play it, I think about Carl Bean and I think about 'I Was Born This Way'."
4. Iron Butterfly – "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
"I had been writing songs that were kind of fantasy with nonsensical words in it, and my mom was like, 'You have to hear this song'. I think they were really drunk in the studio and trying to sing "in the garden of eden" and then it came out as "in-a-gadda-da-vida", and then they kept it that way. So I always thought it was really cool and I know it stuck in the back of my mind that you could make a hit record with words you make up. That definitely stayed with me with through all my music, and made a comeback for 'Abracadabra'."
5. David Bowie – "Watch That Man"
"I had this conundrum as a young person, where I was a little too, or not enough, something. [Lady Starlight] said to me, 'You know, David Bowie was very theatrical. And he's David Bowie'. I started to try to understand him as an artist and delve into his music. […] I had such a dream of making something of myself, that it became kind of this pump-up song for me. My love of David Bowie just deepened from there, but I would say that this was one of the first songs."
6. Heavy Metal Kids – "Hey Little Girl"
"When you find records that help you understand or see yourself, or they become the soundtrack to you and your friend group, that's pretty powerful. There was this idea that you could be kind of rough around the edges and still glamorous, and at the time that meant a lot to me because I didn't have much to offer other than the music I was making and all the jobs I was working."
7. Stevie Wonder – "Superstition"
"Particularly from 'Superstition', that bass line is one of the most exciting bass lines I had ever heard in my whole life. I started thinking about music differently. Listening to Stevie Wonder helped me think about how I could compose differently. It's like that kind of music you have to let seep into your bones and your soul until it finds its way into something true and authentic to you. I definitely I had my moments on 'MAYHEM' where I was thinking about him."
8. Carole King – "Tapestry"
"When I was really bullied in high school, I listened to Carole King's music and I always felt her voice and her songs are like a warm hug. And I think because I played piano and I wrote songs that I saw a path for myself and I just really looked up to her. […] I would say another thing that Carole King taught me was it can be good to think about another artist when you're writing; imagining a super-star singing the song. Because I'll go, 'Is this good enough for someone else?' What might be good enough for me may not be good enough for someone else."
9. Dinah Washington – "What a Diff'rence a Day Made"
"I sang it a lot in my jazz shows, but I didn't sing it on tour with Tony Bennett. I kind of discovered it later. I think I found a bit of myself as a solo jazz singer, without Tony, with that song, just personally. […] I would say 'What a Diff'rence a Day Made' was extremely important to me because it was Dinah's charts that I sang when I first did it, and it was kind of, what was my voice without Tony, when I was just starting to do that."
10. Miles Davis – "So What"
"This is another great segue into how I learned as a young artist that it's about how you think about music, and everybody can think about music differently. It was the way Miles thought about music that I was really moved by as a young person. His album 'Kind of Blue' was critical, and this was long before I ever met Tony, and it was much earlier in my life."
11. The Rolling Stones – "Sympathy for the Devil"
"To me, 'Sympathy for the Devil' had a speed of rock-and-roll that I hadn't heard before. When I say different speed of rock-and-roll, it was also so different from Led Zeppelin and 'Whole Lotta Love'. 'Thank You' was a softer record, but it didn't have this same kind of coolness that 'Sympathy for the Devil' has; 'Thank You' was more like a sincere love song. Pink Floyd were more hallucinogenic in their music. 'Money' was one of the first records I remember listening to. My dad put it on and I said, 'Dad, is that cash register?' And he said yes, and I was like, 'But why? It's music'."
12. Led Zeppelin – "Thank You"
"I love 'Thank You' by Led Zeppelin because they have this razor-sharp, loud, just kind of epic music. And then 'Thank You' is just like quieter. And it's pretty. And it's so sincere. It was kind of like learning the unobtainable rock-and-roll God could really love you. There was like a human-being underneath the legend of it all. The idea of drama and theatricality in music, and then sincerity, I think those two things kind of yin-yang for me."
13. She Wants Revenge – "Tear You Apart"
"'Tear You Apart' by She Wants Revenge is a song that I just fell in love with when I was like 18 years-old. At that same time, I was really into The Cure. This kind of more electronic thing was starting to percolate for me. I think something about living on Stanton Street and the clubs I was going to. What's funny is that the clubs I was going to, a lot of them were playing metal records, but I would listen to She Wants Revenge and The Cure and Depeche Mode when I was at home. That was kind of my internal soundtrack to what the DJs were playing."
14. The Cure – "Never Enough"
"My favorite The Cure song was 'Never Enough' and I am obsessed with the production on that song. I love the song also, but the production on it is something else. I also think I related it to that time in my life I couldn't stop partying. I mean I was writing songs then partying, like on a loop. So I think that song was kind of like the soundtrack to my routine."
15. Justice – "Stress"
"I put 'Stress' by Justice on here too because French-electronic music was something I discovered more when I moved to California. […] I put that record on here because I can't even actually think of a time in my career that I didn't think about Justice when I was making music. It had to do with that unique specialness; that thing that only they had."

Lady Gaga's 2025 In Review

“Historic” does not even begin to describe Lady Gaga’s 2025. She scored a No. 1 song and album, won a Grammy and Emmy Award and embarked on a massive world tour, among many other accomplishments. 
Take a look back at all the year’s mayhem:

JANUARY
Gaga started the year strong in receiving her sixth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. Her Bruno Mars collaboration “Die With a Smile” hit the top of the chart after 20 weeks of charting, making Gaga one of the few artists with a No. 1 song in three different decades. 
Speaking of Mars, she made an appearance in the music video for his song “Fat, Juicy & Wet” alongside Sexyy Red and Rosé. 
Later in the month, she announced her seventh studio album “MAYHEM” on Jan. 21. To accompany the announcement, she appeared on the cover of ELLE US and UK.


She wrapped the month by giving the closing performance of the FireAid Benefit Concert, an event dedicated to rebuilding communities affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. She performed “Shallow,” “Always Remember Us This Way” and a special song written just for this event, “All I Need is Time.” 


FEBRUARY
February was a mayhem-filled month. The “MAYHEM” era racked up a Grammy Award before the album’s release when “Die With a Smile” won Gaga and Mars the Best Pop Duo/Group Award. The duo took the stage to perform a cover of The Mamas & The Papas’ “California Dreamin’” in a tribute to those affected by the Los Angeles fires.
Plus, Gaga revealed “Abracadabra” and its music video during a commercial break from the ceremony and announced a music video competition in conjunction with Mastercard.
A week later, Gaga announced the MAYHEM Ball Tour, her first since the Chromatica Ball in 2022. 
In terms of televised and live performances, Gaga first went to New Orleans for a tribute performance of “Hold My Hand” ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
The next week, she made an appearance at “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” with a performance of “Shallow” that turned into a medley of the Lonely Island’s “Dick in a Box” and “Motherlover.” 
In other news, “Die With a Smile” broke a record when it became the longest-running No. 1 on the Global Spotify chart. 
She also made an appearance on Hot Ones and took a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. 

MARCH
“MAYHEM” was released to critical acclaim on March 7, 2025. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Albums Chart, her sixth time topping the chart. 

Gaga did an expansive press tour for the album, chatting with Billboard, Good Morning America, Las Culturistas, the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vogue, W Magazine and Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, among many others. She dropped by the Howard Stern Show for an interview and performances of “Abracadabra” and “Perfect Celebrity” and hosted “GAGA Radio,” a pop-up show on SiriusXM. 
Plus, she hosted the Little Monsters Press Conference with Spotify, allowing fans the opportunity to ask her anything. 
Check out the full list of the month’s promotional appearances here. 
She brought “MAYHEM” to “Saturday Night Live” in her second double-duty appearance on the sketch comedy show. She performed “Abracadabra” and debuted the live performance of “Killah.” 
Later, on March 17, she received the iHeart Radio Innovator Award for her contributions to pop culture. She also won the iHeart Radio Award for Best Collaboration for “Die With a Smile.” 

She ended the month by releasing the “Abracadabra: From Fan to Featured” video with Mastercard.

APRIL
Gaga brought “MAYHEM” to the desert when she headlined both weekends of Coachella. It was her second time receiving top-billing at the festival, having first done so in 2017. After the festival, she dropped the Gesaffelstein remix of “Abracadabra,” which was included in her Coachella setlist.

At the end of the month, she returned to Mexico City for the first time in 10 years for the first stadium show of the “MAYHEM” era. 


MAY
May was another historic month for Gaga as her concert on Copacabana Beach in Brazil became the most-attended concert of a female artist of all time. An estimated 2.1 million fans gathered for the history-making performance. 


She collected the “E” in “EGOT” when her Super Bowl LIX performance was awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction at the 46th Sports Emmy Awards. Now, all she needs is a Tony Award to complete the prestigious accomplishment. 
She won three of her six nominations at the 2025 American Music Awards: Collaboration of the Year and Favorite Music Video for “Die With a Smile,” and Favorite Dance/Electronic Artist.
Ahead of her special guest appearance on the second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” she closed the streaming service’s annual “TUDUM” live event with an epic performance medley of “Zombieboy,” a “Bloody Mary” dance intermission and “Abracadabra.”
Plus, she appeared and performed at the 2025 YouTube Brandcast event. While it was not broadcast publicly, Deadline called Gaga’s showing a highlight of the ceremony. 

JUNE
June was relatively tame for Gaga, with the exception of “Abracadabra: From Fan to Featured” winning two Lions at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity: the Gold Lion for Fan Building/Community Engagement and the Bronze Lion for Social & Creator. 
The fan video also received four honors at the New York Festivals Advertising Awards: the grand and gold honors for Branded Content/Engagement, another gold honor for Collaborations & Partnerships and a silver honor for Activation & Engagement. 
Oh, and “Die With a Smile” joined the Fortnite Festival.

JULY
July marked the official start of the MAYHEM Ball, with Gaga kicking off the sprawling world tour in Las Vegas, Nevada. 


AUGUST
Gaga joined Dress to Impress to hold a virtual meet-and-greet with fans and host an in-game fashion contest.
Plus, she confirmed the existence of “The Dead Dance,” a song included in the second season of “Wednesday,” at an event for the show.

SEPTEMBER
“The Dead Dance” was released, as well as its Tim Burton-directed music video, to coincide with Gaga’s appearance on “Wednesday.” She played Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday. 
She also released an expanded version of “MAYHEM” with “The Dead Dance” and two songs previously exclusive to some physical album copies, “Can’t Stop the High” and “Kill for Love.”
She scored four Video Music Awards: Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration for “Die With a Smile,” and Best Direction and Best Art Direction for “Abracadabra.” She appeared at the ceremony to accept the Artist of the Year award, but she recorded a performance of “Abracadabra” and “The Dead Dance” for the show from her concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden. She is now the third-most awarded artist in VMAs history. 
She dropped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a piano rendition of “Vanish Into You,” the song’s first televised performance. Her interview with Colbert wouldn’t be released until the start of October.
As she continued touring, she expanded the MAYHEM Ball into 2026 with the announcement of 20 more North American shows. 

OCTOBER
It’s fitting Gaga’s next film role will be in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” as she was seen filming in Milan, Italy between MAYHEM Ball shows. Not much else is known of her involvement in the film slated for a 2026 release other than a Vogue Italia article that said she is expected to play herself. 
She gave an exclusive interview and performances of “Abracadabra” and “Vanish Into You” for KCRW. 

NOVEMBER
The month started with Gaga earning seven nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards:
Album of the Year (“MAYHEM”)
Record of the Year (“Abracadabra”)
Song of the Year (“Abracadabra”)
Best Pop Vocal Album (“MAYHEM”)
Best Dance Pop Recording (“Abracadabra”)
Best Pop Solo Performance (“Disease”)
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album (“Harlequin”)
She now has 45 total career Grammy nominations and became the first artist to have her work nominated across the entire Pop and Dance/Electronic fields. 
A week later, she graced the cover of Rolling Stone for the fourth time, her first since 2011. 

She also attended YouTube’s MAYHEM Halloween Party and did ASMR with "Wednesday" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones.

DECEMBER
After more than a year, "Lady Gaga in Harlequin Live: One Night Only," the concert special recorded on October 1, 2024 in Los Angeles, was released. It first premiered as a one-night-only cinematic event on December 18 in Los Angeles, but it was made available for free on YouTube on Christmas Eve (December 24).

On Billboard’s 2025 year-end charts, Gaga earned her first year-end Hot 100 No. 1 single with “Die With a Smile.” She also placed as the No. 1 Dance/Electronic Artist for the sixth year and claimed the No. 1 song on the Top Dance/Pop songs with “Abracadabra.”
"MAYHEM" received year-end acclaim for critics. It was named the No. 2 album of the year by Billboard and No. 3 by Billboard and Business Insider, but many other publications included it on their year-end lists.
"Abracadabra" also fared well on many year-end best-of lists, with Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone recognizing it as the best song of the year. Associated Press, BBC, Billboard, Consequence, The Guardian, USA Today and Stereogum ranked it in their Top 10s.
Spotify celebrated Gaga’s incredible year with a “paws up” statue on Copacabana Beach, where she performed her history-making show in May.

Spotify Celebrates Lady Gaga's Incredible Year With a Statue in Copacabana

Spotify has unveiled a “paws up” statue on Copacabana Beach in Brazil to celebrate Lady Gaga’s remarkable year on the charts.

Early this morning, Brazilian fans discovered a new statue on their favorite beach. Spotify installed the “paws up” tribute to celebrate Lady Gaga’s achievements this year, which include her hit album MAYHEM, worldwide singles like “Die With a Smile,” “Abracadabra,” and “The Dead Dance,” one of the highest-grossing tours of her career that is still running, a Coachella performance, and her unforgettable record breaking show on Copacabana Beach.
In May, Lady Gaga set the record for the most attended concert by a female artist in history with an audience of 2.5 million fans at her Copacabana show. For one unforgettable night, fans from around the world filled the beach to welcome her back after 12 years away from the country. The free concert was widely praised by global media and left a lasting mark on the nation, becoming a cultural phenomenon known for its imagery, staging, and iconic outfits.
It is not yet known how long the statue will remain on display, but fans in Brazil can enjoy it while it lasts and can also scan a QR code that features a special message from Lady Gaga herself.

Lady Gaga Talks 'MAYHEM,' Mental Health and More in Rolling Stone Cover Story

A week after she scored seven nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga graced the cover of Rolling Stone's December magazine to talk about "MAYHEM," finding love and touring.
This marks Gaga's fourth time on the cover of the magazine and her first since 2011.
Read the cover story here, and check out some highlights below.

On mental health
Gaga opened up about the mental health struggles she faced after the release of "ARTPOP" in 2013. She said "ARTPOP" altered the trajectory of her career because it "was the first time that [she] ever had major criticism about a piece of work" she made.
From there, she discussed how her mental health problems continued through the next decade. She said she did "A Star is Born" on lithium, a powerful mood stabilizer, and had a psychotic break after filming on the Joanne World Tour: "I needed to take a break. I couldn't do anything ... I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn't think I could get better. ... I feel really lucky to be alive."
She continued to say she doesn't think she "was doing very well" during the filming of "House of Gucci," and spoke about how "Chromatica" is "very literal" because it's all she had: "I didn't have a lot of the same type of poetry inside of me because I sort of lost it."
This concept is explored in the "Disease" music video, which she said "is so deliberately about somebody that wants to harm you – and it being you." After filming it, she said she went into a dark place that revealed to her that she was not done healing.
Thankfully, she now considers herself "a healthy, whole person," thanks in part to "MAYHEM": "One of the things I'm most grateful for is gaining all my artistic faculties back to make this record. I had to dig very, very deep, and I had to change a lot of my life and recenter around what I needed as a human being."

On being in love
Another factor in getting her back on track is her relationship with Michael Polansky, about whom she said, "Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference."
It's Polansky who told her she needed to reclaim her music, and in the process, she asked him for his input. Polansky is credited as a co-writer on six "MAYHEM" songs, which surprised him because his contributions were not intentional. "It was very touching to me that she wanted to acknowledge me," he said.
Andrew Watt, a close collaborator through the "MAYHEM" sessions credited Polansky with being a crucial stabilizer in the recording process and said he has "that all-knowing Buddha-type energy."
In turns out she secretly had another business venture with Polansky as she co-founded and sits on the board of directors of Outer Biosciences, a skin-health research firm that Polansky said "was her idea." "When she talks about us being partners, it kind of looks like it all goes one direction, but she's the most incredible support to me as well," he said.
They plan to get married soon, and Gaga added that "being a mom is the thing [she wants] the most."

On the MAYHEM Ball
The narrative of MAYHEM Ball, Gaga's largest and longest tour in a decade, is a dream-logic version of parts of her real life. She broke it down and said the show starts with Mayhem, "the most egocentric side" of her, that announces she's the queen with a desire of torturing the younger version of herself "as a way of teaching her how to be great." The Mayhem character's plan doesn't go as planned, though.
"I decided I wanted to make it something that everybody could understand and love," she said, "and it didn't have to be the most dark thing that I'd ever created. Isn't that Mayhem talking? 'I have to be dark.' And, like, what is that in me that I have to be the toughest or the most edgy?"
While she still panics at the start of every show, but "the rehearsal of self" saves her and puts her back in the moment.

Spotify Interviews Viral Little Monster "The Kid in the Orange Jacket": Atticus

Spotify interviewed Atticus for their series "Most Viral Fan." Atticus became famous years ago as "the kid in the orange jacket" who managed to get onstage with Lady Gaga during her tour and dance with her.
The video of them dancing together has since gone viral around the world, becoming one of the most touching moments in pop music history.
Watch his story below.

Atticus learned the choreography to "Scheiße," which he later performed with Gaga on stage, "in my room, in my underwear, watching YouTube videos" he told Spotify. He had originally planned to avoid any spoilers before attending the Born This Way Ball, but he wanted to teach the steps to one of his dance classes.
As the legend goes, he camped out for the show with friends and narrowly secured entry into the Monster Pit. It was there that he started doing the "Scheiße" choreography when he was spotted by Gaga.
Atticus "pushed through that crowd like a battering ram to the front of the stage," after hearing Gaga call him up. "Blackout is not the right word because I was so conscious."
"I don't feel like I had control over my body," he recounts, trusting his knowledge of the dance to carry him through the performance. The parts he wasn't sure of were the stage directions. Fortunately, the dancers graciously directed him on where to go.
"The next thing I knew, we were stopped at the front, and the lights were on us." That's when a fan threw a bouquet of flowers onstage. Atticus dropped to his knee and held them out to Gaga, who gave him a kiss.
After the song, "that's where the real magic happened." Atticus was pulled backstage and given the opportunity to hang out with Gaga's dancers (some of whom he's still in touch with today), and the superstar herself. "Oh my god, you are so fab," she told him, and signed his jacket.
That jacket, ironically, was one Atticus stole from "a girl from high school." It's safe to say he's not giving it back or giving it away—turning down offers up to $20k.
Even though Atticus has pursued his passion for photography over dance, he still cites the viral moment as a life-changing event. "She probably changed my life more than anything else ever has."

Andrew Watt Reflects On Lady Gaga's MAYHEM With PEOPLE

Producer Andrew Watt talked with PEOPLE about his experience in the studio with Lady Gaga during the recording of ‘MAYHEM’. Andrew served as co-executive producer of the album, alongside Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky. Highlights from the interview are below.
On Gaga's decision to return to her dance-pop roots on MAYHEM:
"She has done so many different types of music throughout her career. There's nothing she can't do. So when we went to make this album, I think we were touching on all of [the genres she’s covered]. As an artist, she's always learning, always evolving, always pushing herself. The work ethic is out of this world. And it just became apparent from the stuff that we started making that we were making a dance album. The music was calling us to that."
On what it's like to work in the studio with Gaga:
"She's there thinking about the entire world she's going to build when she does a song. There's layers to what she does. First, she has to figure out the notes and the lyrics and the vibe of what she's going to do and create that. That, for a lot of people, is where it ends. You write a song, you put your vocal on it. Boom, that's it. Not for Gaga. She then takes that song home, figures out which part of her is going to sing the narrative, how she has to sing it. Does she have to sing it harder? Does she have to sing it softer? How is she going to deliver the vocal? She learns every inflection of what she did and comes back [and] sings it for hours and hours until she finds the right character."
On watching Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars work together in the studio:
"Just sitting there and watching her and Bruno interact, it was like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. Watching that interaction was so special. The competition between the two of them was so healthy and great. I will never forget them going back and forth while she was recording the vocal."
On his favorite song from MAYHEM:
"I really, really love that song “Perfect Celebrity.” I got to the studio five minutes before her. Whatever was in my head, I just started playing the synth, and the second it came out of the speakers, it was 10 seconds, 30 seconds of me playing before she had heard it, and already started writing. So it was one of those really fluid things. And the second she came up with that concept, I remember her saying, ‘Oh, this is the song that I always should have written.’ It felt instantly like a song that was already in her discography, even though it was a brand-new thing she was coming up with."
Lady Gaga praised Andrew for being "a uniquely gifted" producer and musician:
"Everything he does is rooted in a deep love for music and for the people who make it. You can feel how profoundly it’s shaped his life. He lives and breathes it in a way that’s rare even among artists. […] With Andrew, the process becomes limitless, his instinct, taste, and understanding of sonic history makes him one of the most dynamic collaborators in modern music."
